Quote:Yours is not a question; it's a cheap practice of Socratic Method; one that is very distant from our topic to begin with. You are not winning the argument by asking an unrelated thing.
So ask about the fact that Heathen Christians -like Irene of Athens- gouged out the eyes of their own sons.
The Socratic Method is literally asking questions ......

I have asked you a question many times. You are just a fucking coward...just like I always figured you were.
pffft
You are pitiful.
What? you didn't like the "WinterHold Method" that is an updated version of the Socratic Method; i.e the update is actually asking you about the same original topic !
tffffpp..
Again, they used to gouge peoples' eyes in the Christian Byzantine empire for centuries as a formal sentence; your opinion about this savage historical fact?

So this is how rapists, serial killers and armed robbers are dealt with in Allah's quran.
While in your land, they become guests in 7 star rooms called prison to masturbate for life fantasying about what they did.
Meanwhile, in our land, we treat human beings with dignity and humanity regardless of their actions. Meanwhile, your land has nothing but backward thoughts and deluded savagery

The Quran -which I'm taking as my personal law- doesn't orders maiming but in two cases:
1-Robbery, by cutting the hand of the thieve -unless pardoned by the victim-.
2-Cutting both the hand & the leg in the case of the criminal is spreading corruption in the land as the verse say:
Both are absolutely unacceptable responses. Maiming is never okay. Ever. It doesn't fucking matter what scripture authorizes it - in all cases, it is a violation of the criminal's human rights.

How does a person reach someone like you... winter, so completely and inexorably lost? I don't know.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But Astrega, the whole world -especially westerm countries- are exporting "maiming devices" called live ammunition; and deploy them to fighting jets and landmines, and crossed the level of hypocrisy to sell them for billions of Dollars to dictators who use maiming + butchery towards millions of innocent people, like the "maiming war of Yemen" that the west + Saudi Arabia are waging now.
Calling maiming with other names like "tactical airstrike" remains what it is: a maiming strike. Calling "maiming" with "tactical bombing" to help one sleep at night will not change the fact.
At least Allah says it as it is.
